Thread: Ioncube loader


hello,

keep ubuntu server lamp... user asked me install "ioncube loader". considering if want this. concerned security in 2 ways:
1. installing propertiary binary may backdoor
2. installing decoder, allows encrypted php cannot check obvious exploits (which experience date has been poorly coded , full of exploits)

on other hand, ioncube reputable company , client claims "all hosting providers have installed" (which don't believe second).

have oppinions. think? safe?

thanks.

lp,
jure

1) people not encrypt php ioncube or other systems.

2) if encrypted, cannot check doing i'm sure security people on here advise against on grounds.

3) i'd run if really need to.
